ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1860.
After the opening of the General Assembly at Rochester, New York, the following Standing Committee on the Board of Domestic Missions was announced by the Moderator, viz. Rev. William M. Scott, D. D., J. D. Spotswood, D. D., Rev. D. M. Ilalliday, Rev. William Brown, and Rev. W. K. Mar- shall. Ruling ^/(?er.s— Edward Taylor, M. Pettingell, W. L. Terhune, and J. Spencer.
On Friday morning, May 18, the Annual Report was presented by Rev. R. Happersett, D. D., one of the Corres- ponding Secretaries, and referred by the Assembly to the above Committee.
On Monday morning. May 21, according to an order of the day, the Standing Committee brought in their report. By invitation of the Assembly, Dr. Happersett, the Corresponding Secretary present, addressed the Assembly in regard to the operations of the Board. After a discussion, the report was unmmnously adopted, and is as follows :
The Committee to whom was referred the Annual Report of the Board of Domestic Missions, respectfully report :
1. The General Assembly, while lamenting before God that no more has been done, still observes the evidences of progress during the past year in the various departments of the work assigned to this Board, as warrant for commending the fidelity and energy of the men charged with the prosecution of the service, and as a call for gratitude to God, who hath first given the heart to the Church to do something for his honour, and then graciously accepted the work of her hands. Amongst the evidences of progress, the Assembly record these : — An increase in the number of labourers of 91 over the preceding year; an average increase in the salaries paid the missionaries of §13.35; an increase in contributions from the churches of §6178, and from all sources of $19,231; new churches have been organized to the number of 53, and members have been received on profession of their faith, 2665, and on certificate, 2113; the work has been ex- tended into new fields, and new energy manifested where it lan- guished before.
2. The Assembly observe with profound concern and grief the large number of churches that do not share in this service for Christ; according to the evidence aiforded by this report, the increase in the number of contributing churches having scarcely kept pace with the number of churches organized Tlie source of anxiety to the Assem- bly on this account, is in the fact that these churches both neglect an a]t])ointed ordinance of worship, appointed of God for the cultivation oi" the grace of liberality, and thereby hinder their own prayers for
11
the extension of his kingdom and the conversion of souls. Those churches are expressly excepted from the ttpplieatlon of this language, which (lo their part in the work in ways lohich do not appear in the report of this Board.
3. The Assembly observe with interest the department of the work amongst the strangers that are in the land, who must be furnished with the gospel in other tongues than our English — the people under the dominion of Romanism, and amongst the people of colour, both free and bond — and do earnestly press these matters upon the atten- tion of the Board, and the co-operation of the Presbyteries, and the liberality and prayers of God's people.
4. The Assembly desire to say to ihe Board, that neither this Assembly, nor the Board, nor the Church at large, can be, ought to be, content with any measure of success, while anything remains unachieved; that it is regarded that the end to be aimed at continu- ally by the Board, in its organized operations, is to employ all the ministerial labour and talent which the Church can afford for its aggressive work, and to have the Church furnish, upon correct princi- ples, all the means needed for the competent support and working efficiency of that ministry; and to this end the Board is directed to ascertain and report to this Assembly, and publish to the churches, the amount of ministerial service they might employ, were the means furnished, and the call for labour beyond the supply of labourers in the Church.
5. In reference to the objects to be aimed at in the field, as the work to be overtaken by thus employing and adequately supporting all the available ministerial labour, they are, in the judgment of this Assembly, (a) To secure and provide for all our emigrating families and people, wherever they may go, so that what has been won in one part of the work may not be lost in another; and, (h) To bring the gospel to the many thousands who must get it from us, or not at all.
6. The attention of the Board and all its officers is called to the urgent necessity for the most rigid economy in all the expenses of the various departments of the service, both by reason of the sacred na- ture of the funds entrusted to their management, and the danger of having the charities of our people dried up by even the suspicion of needless cost in the application to the direct object to which they con- secrate their offerings to God.
7. The special direction is added, in answer to the memorial from the Presbytery of Highland in Kansas, that the Board take measures to send at once, suitable men to labour in the new gold mining regions of Western Kansas, Utah, and New Mexico.
On motion of Dr. William A. Scott, the following resolution was ad
Resolved, That the special attention of the Board of Domestic Mis- sions be anew and earnestly directed to the preaching of the gospel by travelling missionaries or itinerant ministers, in the waste places of Zion, and in the newly settled States and Territories of our country.

ANNUAL SERMON. The annual sermon on behalf of the Board was preached in the First Presbyterian Church, in Rochester, on Monday evening, May 21st, by the Rev. David X. Junkin, D. D., of Hollidaysburgh, Pennsylvania.
EESOLUTIONS IN REFERENCE TO THE BOARDS.
The following resolutions were also adopted by the General As- sembly : »
Rcwivrd, 1. That the Boards of the Church be instructed to notify the members thereof of their appointment, and of all meetings of the Board, whether stated or special; and when such meetings are for special purposes, the subject for discussion shall be mentioned in the notice.
Resolved, 2. That it shall be the duty of the above named Boards to send up to the Assembly, with their Annual Reports, their books of minutes, and the books of minutes of the respective Executive Com- mittees, for examination ; and it shall be the duty of said Committees to bring to the attention of the Assembly any matters in their minutes, which, in their judgment, call for the notice of the Assembly.
Resolved, 3. That it is not lawful for either of the above named Boards or Committees to issue certificates of life-membership to any person, or any testimonial, by virtue of which any person is permitted to sit, deliberate, and vote with the Boards; but the Boards may devise and grant certificates, or testimonials of special donations, to the class of persons hitherto known as honorary members — it being understood and provided that such persons can in no sense be allowed, by purchase or gift, to exercise any sort of right or position to delibe- rate and vote with the members appointed by the General Assembly.
The Assembly adopted a resolution to discontinue the practice of appointing annual preachers for the Boards.

FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
From March 1, 1859, to March 1, 1860.
As by the blessing of God the cause has continued to prosper, the Board of Domestic Missions, in presenting their Fifty- eighth Annual Report to the General Assembly, would take occasion to renew their expression of thankfulness and praise to the Author of all good, for the measure of success with which he has crowned their labours during the past year. But while we have had much to encourage and rejoice our hearts, we, in common with the whole Church, have been called to mourn the loss of some of the most distinguished and efficient patrons and friends of the cause of Missions. During the past year, two of our own number, who had been long connected with the Board, have departed this life, viz. the Rev. James W. Alexander, D.D., late of the city of New York, and the Rev. Alexander Macklin, D.D., late of the city of Philadel- phia. The former distinguished divine was one of our most efficient patrons, and the latter was for a long period an active and zealous attending member of the Board. While we deplore their loss, we rejoice in the belief that they have entered upon their gracious reward in heaven. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
Considerable progress has been made in the work confided 2
14 ANNUAL REPORT.
to our care during the past year. There has been a very large increase in the number of our missionaries, and in the aggre- gate amount of our appropriations ; the receipts also have been considerably augmented — and, indeed, in every depart- ment there has been an encouraging advance. Without further detention we proceed to give the detailed Report.
OPERATIONS OF THE YEAR.
Of Missions — Statistical Details.
The number of missionaries in commission March 1, 1859, Avas 408, to which have been added, to March 1, 1860, 283, making the whole number 691, and more by 91 than the year previous.
The number of churches and missionary stations wholly or in part supplied, (as far as reported,) by our missionaries, is 1,179.
The number of newly organized churches is 53.
The number of admissions on examination is 2,665, and on certificate 2,113; making a total of admissions of 4,778.
The number in communion with churches connected with the Board is 28,107.
The number of Sabbath-schools is 429; of teachers 3,460; and of scholars 22,035.
The number of baptisms is 3,197.
Of the 091 missionaries who have been in commission during the year, 175 have sent in no special report for the Assembly — a little over one-fourth of the whole number ; consequently we must increase all the returns one-fourth to make them correct.
Appropriations.
The appropriations made to our missionaries, from March 1, 1859, to March 1, 1860, have been, at the office in Philadel- phia, $75,011.57; at the office in Louisville, $48,580.58; and on behalf of the South-Wcstern Advisory Committee at New Orleans, $2,212.50; making a total of $125,804.65.
BOAKD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 15
The appropriations made to our missionaries, from Marcli 1, 1858, to March 1, 1859, were, at the office in Philadelphia, $58,360.17, and at the office in Louisville, $36,116.66; making a total of $94,476.83.
From this statement it appears that the appropriations made at the office in Philadelphia, were greater than those made the year before, $16,651.40, and at the office in Louisville, they were more by $12,463.92; thus making the total appropria- tions this year, including those made on behalf of the South- western Advisory Committee, greater than the year preceding by $31,327.82.
For the purpose of further comparison we may state, that the average appropriations made during the preceding seven years, from 1852 to 1859, were, at the office in Philadelphia, $51,062.17, and at the office in Louisville, $31,896.88; making a total average of $82,959.05.
From this statement it appears that the appropriations made from March 1, 1859, to March 1, 1860, at the office in Phila- delphia, exceeded the average of those made during the seven previous years $23,949.40, and at the office in Louisville, $16,683.70; thus making a total excess of appropriations this year, including those made on behalf of the South-Western Advisory Committee, above the average appropriations of the seven preceding years, $42,845.60.
As the missionary appointments are made, with very few exceptions, for twelve months, and are scattered over the whole year, of course a large number of the appropriations made during the year have not yet fully matured, but will be falling due as the present year advances.
Receipts.
The total amount of receipts from all sources, from March 1, 1859, to March 1, 1860, is $118,904.21, to which add balances on hand in the different treasuries, March 1, 1859, $28,422.19; making the available resources of the Board during the year, $147,326.40.
16 ANNUAL REPORT.
The amount paid out at the office in Philadelphia, including the Presbyterial treasuries, was $100,318.74; at the office in Louisville, $13,554.12; and at the office in New Orleans, $3,542.25; making the total amount of payments during the year, $117,415.11; leaving in all the treasuries, on the 1st of March, 1860, $29,911.29, which is a greater sum, by $1,489.10, than that reported on the 1st of March, 1859. The amount due the missionaries at the same date was $15,514.87; leaving a balance to meet appropriations already made, and accruing next year, of $14,396.42. Even of this comparatively small balance, a considerable portion cannot be appropriated by the Board to the general field, as it is held by the South-western Advisory Committee for disbursement within the field assigned to them.
The aggregate receipts from March 1, 1859, to March 1, 1860, have been greater, as compared with the receipts from March 1, 1858, to March 1, 1859, $19,231.18. The increase has been, in individual or special donations and legacies, $13,052.24, and in contributions of the churches, $6,178.94. The receipts at the office in Philadelphia, including the Presby- terial treasuries, were greater by $10,861.43, and were less at the office in Louisville by $4,708.66.
OUR MISSIONS.
During the year, the Board have established new missions in various sections of our country, as well in larger cities and towns as in smaller villages and rural districts. They have also, to the extent of their ability, re-inforced our missionaries in the newer States and Territories. One missionary has been added to the number in California, one to Connecticut, two to Florida, four to Georgia, seventeen to Illinois, six to Indiana, one to Iowa, five to Kansas, four to Kentucky, two to ^Liry- land, seventeen to Missouri, two to Nebraska, four to New Jersey, six to New York, three to North Cai-olina, three to Ohio, two to Oregon, eight to Pennsylvania, three to Texas,
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 17
four to Virginia, two to Washington Territory, and four to Wisconsin. The Board have also commissioned one missionary in Massachusetts, and one in Dakotah Territory. The num- ber of missionaries in Alabama has been reduced two, in Ar- kansas one, in Louisiana one, in Mississippi two, and in South Carolina four; and the two missionaries who were last year reported in Rhode Island have left the State. Thus we have a total increase of ninety-one missionaries.
We have greatly expanded our operations during the past year, in the hope that the churches will furnish the means necessary to sustain them. It will be impossible, however, to advance any further, or even to maintain our present scale of appropriations, unless the receipts of the Board are greatly augmented.
We state, in this connection, as heretofore, that we have continued to employ a number of missionaries among our for- eign population. One has laboured among the French, one among the Welsh, and twenty-seven among the Germans. Many of our missionaries labouring in the Southern States devote a portion of their time to the coloured population.
During the year, fifty-six of our missionaries have been em- ployed as itinerants. A large portion of our missionaries perform more or less of such service, but the above number are either wholly, or almost entirely, employed as itinerants. By a judicious arrangement of weak and feeble churches, forming them into itinerant circuits, a great saving might be effected by the Presbyteries, both of men and means. But the employ- ment of itinerants in districts where there are no churches as yet organized, and from which the itinerants can derive little or no support, involves a very heavy expense, so that the number of such cannot be much increased with our present limited resources, without reducing the appropriations now made to the pastors and stated supplies of our missionary churches.
18 ANNUAL REPORT.
CLOTHING.
Clothing valued at §17,295.86 has been received during the year and distributed among the missionaries who needed it. Of this amount, $13,289.72 was received at the office in Phila- delphia, $2,331.48 at the office in Louisville, $1,514.66 at the depot in Pittsburgh, and $160 at the office in New Orleans.
In consequence of the failure of the crops in various portions of our country during the past year, and the consequent ina- bility of many of the missionary churches to meet their engage- ments with their pastors, the clothing sent to the missionaries has been unusually acceptable and useful. But for such sup- plies, many of them, with their families, would have been subjected to great inconvenience, if not positive suffering; and we believe that some of them would have been obliged to aban- don their fields of labour. From statements made to us by the missionaries, we have reason to know that the clothing received by them has excited their liveliest gratitude. The ladies who are chiefly occupied in this work of benevolence, may rest assured that their labour of love is highly appreciated ; and we doubt not that many a heart-felt prayer is offered up to God by the recipients of their bounty, for blessings upon them.
Believing that a larger amount of clothing than has been usually furnished, could be usefully distributed among the mis- sionaries, the Board resolved to issue a circular to the churches, requesting them to aid us in this important department. We trust they will cordially and generously respond, and thus enable us to furnish a box of clothing to every one of our mis- sionaries who may need it.
As inquiries continue to be made on the subject, we repeat what Ave have stated in former reports, that the value of the clothing sent to our missionaries is never deducted from the salaries of those who receive it, but is regarded simply as a spe- cial donation to them from the friends of the cause. We will add, such donations of clothing ought never to be allowed to interfere with, or diminish the contributions to the Board, as
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 19
sucli an effect would be highly prejudicial to the Board, and injurious to the missionaries themselves.
EXECUTIVE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
DIVISION OF FIELD BETAVEEN THE COMMITTEES.
The Board carries on its operations through two Executive Committees and one Advisory Committee — the two former located at Philadelphia and Louisville, and the latter at New Orleans. Between these Committees the territory of the Church is unequally divided; each Committee having, accord- ing to the division made by the Board, its own assigned field and limits.
The field of the Executive Committee, located in Philadel- phia, embraces the Synods of Albany, Buffalo, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Wheeling, Ohio; the Presbyteries of Logansport, Lake, and Fort Wayne, in the Synod of Northern Indiana; the Synod of Wisconsin; the Presbytery of St. Paul, in the Synod of Iowa; the Presbytery of Omaha, in the Synod of Southern Iowa; the Presbytery of Highland, in the Synod of Upper Missouri; the Synods of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Pacific — covering twenty-one entire States and seven Territories, and parts of two other States; and having, according to the Minutes of the last General Assembly, 1668 ministers, 2060 churches, and 200,339 communicants. The number of missionaries under the care of the Board, in this field, and consequently connected with the Committee in Phila- delphia, the past year, has been 379.
The field of the Executive Committee, located in Louisville, Kentucky, embraces the Synods of Cincinnati, Indiana; the Presbyteries of Crawfordsville and Muncie, in the Synod of Northern Indiana; the Synods of Illinois, Chicago, Iowa (except the Presbytery of St. Paul,) South Iowa (except the Presbytery of Omaha,) Upper Missouri (except the Presbytery of Highland,) Missouri, Kentucky, Nashville, Memphis (except the Presbytery of Chickasaw,) and Arkansas — covering five

entire States, and parts of four other States; and having, according to the Minutes of the last General Assembly, 699 ministers, 1103 churches, and 63,909 communicants. The number of missionaries under the care of the Board, in this field, and consequently connected with the Committee in Louis- ville, the past year, has been 303.
The field of the South-tvestern Advisory Committee, located in Neiv Orleans, Louisiana, embraces the Synods of Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, and the Presbytery of Chickasaw, in the Synod of Memphis — covering three entire States and parts of two others; and having, according to the Minutes of the last General Assembly, 188 ministers, 316 churches, and 15,055 communicants. The number of missionaries under the care of the Board, in this field, and consequently connected with the Committee in New Orleans, the past year, has been nine.
The Western Executive Committee.
The Fifteenth Annual Report of the Western Executive Committee is printed in the Appendix to this Report.
The receipts at the office in Louisville, during the year, amounted to $12,695.67, which is less by $4708.66 than the year previous. The amount paid out at Louisville, during the year, was $13,554.12. The amount paid out at the office in Philadelphia, on account of the Committee, was $24,623.57 — making the total amount of payments by and on account of the Committee, $38,177.69.

BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 21
We regret to observe that the receipts at the office in Louis- ville have greatly fallen off during the last year. As compared with the foregoing year, the decrease has been $4,708.66. The Committee have given an explanation for this decrease during the past year, in their Annual Report, and we have no doubt that the causes to which they refer had considerable influence. It is evident, however, from the above table, that the receipts at that office have been decreasing, with the exception of a single year (1855-6,) for the last eight years. During the past year, nearly twice as much was paid to the missionaries in that field, from the office at Philadelphia, as was paid to them from the office at Louisville ; and the whole might have been paid from the office at Philadelphia without any additional expense. Indeed, many of the missionaries are often kept waiting for their salaries much longer than they would be, if they were all paid from the office at Philadelphia. At present, whenever the Western Executive Committee are not in funds, the missionaries are obliged to wait for their pay until that Committee forward the list, and an order for their payment can be obtained from the Executive Committee at Philadelphia. If all the mis- sionaries were to receive their pay directly from the office at Philadelphia, they would receive their salaries much more punctually.
South- Western Advisory Committee.
The last Greneral Assembly adopted the following resolution, viz.
'■^Resolved, The Board is instructed to establish in the city of New Orleans an Advisory Committee, with a District Secretary, whose duty it shall be to set forward the work of Missions in the South-West — the details to be arranged by conference between the Board and the said Committee."
In pursuance of the above resolution, the Board appointed a
South-Western Advisory Committee, the office of which was
located in the city of New Orleans. The field assigned to said
Committee comprised the Synods of Alabama, Arkansas, Mem-

At a subsequent meeting of the Board, the Secretary and the Treasurer of the South-Western Advisory Committee were appointed ex officio members of the same.
The Synods of Arkansas and Memphis having declined to cooperate with the South-Western Advisory Committee, that portion of the field remains in consequence with the Western Executive Committee, and the Board ordered the names of the representatives of those Synods to be dropped from the list of members of the South-Western Advisory Committee.
The Board supposing, however, that some of the Presbyte- ries connected with the Synods of Arkansas and Memphis might be desirous of cooperating with the South-Western Advisory Committee, and for the purpose of recognizing the
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 23
right of every Presbytery to elect with which of the Commit- tees they would prefer to cooperate, adopted the following preamble and resolution :
WhereaSy the Board supposed, when they designated the field of the South- Western Advisory Committee, that all the Synods named desired to cooperate with said Committee : and whereas, it now appears, that the Synods of Memphis and Arkansas have declined for the present to cooperate with said Committee; and whereas, some of the Presbyteries within the bounds of the Synods of Memphis and Arkansas may desire to cooperate with the South- Western Advisory Committee, while others may prefer to retain their connection with the Western Executive Committee; and whereas, this Board has no disposi- tion to interfere with the preferences of any; therefore,
Resolved, That the Presbyteries concerned be permitted freely to connect themselves with either of the existing Com- mittees of this Board with which they may prefer to cooperate.
After conference between the Secretaries of the Board and the Secretary of the South-Western Advisory Committee, the following mode of cooperation between the Board and the Committee was adopted, and approved by the Board at their meeting, October 10, 1859, viz.
Mode of Cooperation.
1. All applications for missionary appointments and appro- priations within that field, are to be made to the South-Western Advisory Committee.
2. The Board will make all appointments and appropriations within the field of that Committee that may be recommended by said Committee.
3. All the missionaries are to report quarterly to the Board, and are to be paid by drafts on the Treasurer of the Com- mittee.
4. All moneys raised for Domestic Missions, within the
24 ANNUAL REPORT.
bounds of that Committee, are to be forwarded to its Treasurer, and a monthly account of receipts and payments transmitted to the Board.
At a meeting of the Board on the 13th of February, 1860, the following resolutions of the South-Western Advisory Com- mittee were received and read, viz.
1. Resolved, That the Committee entertain the confident assurance that their accruing revenues will not only fully meet all liabilities assumed, (embracing all missionaries now in commission in our portion of the field,) but will also be ample to support as many additional missionaries as can be induced for the present to enter upon the labours of our wide-spread field.
2. Resolved, That as a safe line of policy, and a just guar- antee to our missionaries, the Committee will grant no more appropriations than the funds in their treasury will enable them promptly to pay.
3. Resolved, That, should applications be made beyond the actual resources of our treasury, the Committee will apply for aid to the parent Board, with cheerful confidence in the impar- tial wisdom and justness of its decisions, in distributing the common bounty of the whole Church, for the supply of the wants of our field as fully as those of any other section of the Church or country.
4. Resolved, That, as all commissions are issued by the parent Board upon the simple recommendation of this Com- mittee, the resources and integrity of the Board itself are as sacredly pledged for the payment of these claims, as is the Committee, which is but the authorized agent of the Assem- bly's Board — thus affording double security to the missionaries for the prompt payment of their salaries.
Whereupon the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Board:
Whereas, The financial conditions upon which the South- western Advisory Committee was established were proposed
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 25
by the brethren who represented the views of the section of the Church interested in the establishment of said Committee; and tvhereas, the terms were reduced to writing at the sugges- tion of the Secretary of said Committee, and mutually agreed to by him and the Corresponding Secretaries of the Board, and subsequently adopted by the Board without alteration; and whereas, the conditions agreed to are essential to the financial security of the Board, so long as they are required to make whatever appropriations are recommended by said Com- mittee, therefore
Resolved, 1. That as the Board is pledged to make all the appropriations that are recommended by the South-Western Advisory Committee, it is absolutely indispensable that the said Committee should continue to be wholly responsible for the payment of the same, as otherwise the Board might be involved in liabilities, in the creation of which they have no discretion.
Resolved, 2. That while this Board, according to the terms agreed upon, would feel no legal obligation to aid in liquidat- ing any debt contracted solely in behalf of, and on the recom- mendation of said Committee, they would certainly feel dis- posed, for the sake of the common cause, to assist the South- Western Advisory Committee in discharging any liabilities which the said Committee could not meet, so far as the Board could do so in view of their own pecuniary liabilities, and the claims of other sections of the Church.
Resolved, 3. That if the South-Western Advisory Committee should insist upon holding this Board responsible for the pay- ment of appropriations made on the recommendation of said Committee, then, in order to protect the Board against embar- rassment and possible insolvency, it will be absolutely necessary for the Board to exercise their discretion in making appoint- ments and appropriations within the field assigned to that Com- mittee, as is now done under similar circumstances in all the rest of the missionary field.
Resolved, 4. That we trust the brethren composing the South-Western Advisory Committee will appreciate the finan-

cial necessity which obliges the Board to adhere to the prin- ciples contained in the foregoing resolutions; and we desire them to be assured of our best wishes, and of our sincere and earnest desire to cooperate with them as fully as possible.
The first annual report of the South-Western Advisory Com- mittee is published in the Appendix to this Report. We are sincerely gratified at the progress made by said Committee, which gives promise of large results in the future. They have a most interesting and important missionary field to cul- tivate, and we heartily wish them God-speed in the great and noble work assigned to them.
PROGRESS MADE BY OUR CHURCH IN THE MISSIONARY WORK.
It is a matter of thanksgiving to God that our Church has always been characterized by a missionary spirit, and that this benevolent disposition has grown with our growth, and strengthened with our strength. Before the existence of the General Assembly — from 1706 to 1788 — first by the mother Presbytery of Philadelphia, and afterwards by the Synods of Philadelphia and New York, many eiforts were made, and col- lections taken up, to promote domestic missions.
After the constitution of the General Assembly in 1788, the work of missions was conducted by the Assembly itself until 1802, when, from the accumulation of business, the iVssembly not being able to give it that attention its importance de- manded, the work was placed in the hands of a " Standing Committee on Missions," which committee continued to act until 1816. This arrangement not being found sufiiciently effective, the Assembly, in 1816, created the present Board of Domestic Missions. In 1828 this Board was re-organized, with enlarged powers, suggested by the previous experiments, and accumulated experience of the Church, which infused new life and energy into its operations. In order to show the pro-
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 27
gress that has since been made, we submit the folio-wing state- ments:
In 1828, the year of the re-organization of the Board, there were but thirty-one missionaries, and an income of $2,400 only.
In 1840, two years after the division of the Church, and when the parts were fairly separated, there were two hundred and fifty-six missionaries, and an income of $40,734.
The following table will show the progress that has been made in the last seven years. The figures in the first line of the table are derived from the last Report under the preceding administration of the Board:

From this it appears that since 1852-3, there has been an increase of 176 missionaries; an increase of individual dona- tions and legacies $11,402.02; and an increase of contribu- tions from the churches $26,046.86; being an augmentation in the total receipts of $37,448.88. The increase, during the same period, in the amount appropriated to the missionaries, is $68,893.57, which is $31,444.69 more than the increase in the total receipts.
The following table will show how steadily and wonderfully our beloved Church has, by the blessing of her adorable Head, increased and expanded ; and let it be remembered that this increase and expansion were mainly effected by the instrumen-

It thus appears, that since the re-organization of the Board, we have increased 17 Synods, 78 Presbyteries, 1,292 ministers, 1,519 churches, and 133,322 members. Since 1840, two years after the division of the Church, we have increased 16 Synods, 73 Presbyteries, 962 ministers, 1,814 churches, and 153,047 communicants.
While these results are not what we should desire in view of the rapid increase of our population, and the wonderful expan- sion of our country, they certainly afford ground f6r thanks- giving and praise to the great Head of the Church, from whom every good gift cometh, and to whom all the glory is due; and they ought likewise to encourage and stimulate us to greater prayerfulness, liberality, and zeal.
SALARIES OF MISSIONARIES.
The Board have, during the year, increased the average appropriation to our missionaries, as compared with the year preceding. The people have, during the year, decreased the average salary paid by them to their ministers. The increase in the average appropriation made by the Board to the mis- sionaries during the year, is ^13.85; and the average decrease in the salary paid by the people is $7.40; making a total average increase of $5.95.
The total average salary from the Board and the people, amounted last year to $536.63.

From the foregoing table it appears that the Board have increased their average appropriations to the missionaries during the last seven years $71.05, which is very nearly fifty-four per cent. The average increase of salary paid by their people during the same period, is $93.57; which is very nearly thirty- nine per cent. The total average increase during the last seven years, is forty-four and one-quarter per cent.*
THE OBJECTS OF THE BOARD AND THEIR IMPORTANCE.
We cannot too strongly impress upon our Church the objects of our Board, and their importance. These are two-fold.
Ist. To aid in sustaining feeble churches already organized, and to supply them with the preaching of the word and the ordinances of the gospel.
This is an important part of the work assigned to this Board,

and ought not to be overlooked or neglected. Many a church, now weak, needs but for a little time fostering care, in order to grow and become strong. Hundreds of our most flour- ishing churches, all over our land, are to-day the strongest practical testimony of the wisdom and efficiency of this import- ant work of the Board.
2d. The other and very important object of the Board is, to extend the boundaries of the Church, by employing ministers to preach the gospel, gather new congregations, and organize

churches in the hitherto neglected and waste places of our country. This aggressive work, the Board regards as of im- mense importance in a country like ours. The land yet to be occupied is immense. Hundreds of thousands are destitute of a preached gospel, and calling for the living minister. New Territories are opening up, and all along the great thorough- fares that are stretching out, year by year, over those pri- meval solitudes; a tide of emigration is rolling, and towns and villages are springing up in great numbers, and with marvelous rapidity. To meet these accumulating responsibilities, and carry forward the great work of evangelization commensurate with our country's growth and wants, is a consideration which weighs heavily upon the Board, and ought to wake up our Church to active, energetic eiforts. It can be done, and if our Church will only come to the determination that, with God's blessing, it shall be done, and then go forward in faith, and with some sacrifices, carefully husbanding as well increasing the means for this work of expansion ; we will soon see new churches planted, and a pure gospel preached, where now ignorance and error abound.
NEED OF FUNDS.
It has already been stated that the balance in hand on the first of March, to meet appropriations already made and now maturing, as well those which shall'yet be made in the prosecu- tion of this work, was |14,'396.42, and that a large proportion of this could be used only to pay missionaries labouring within the field assigned to the South- Western Advisory Committee. The unusually large increase of ninety-one missionaries over last year, and the consequent large increase of liabilities, amounting to $31,327.82, over those of the year previous, will at once suggest the absolute necessity of a very large in- crease of funds to meet such enlarged appropriations as they fall due. Nor is it to be supposed that these six hundred and ninety- one men — although an army indeed of God's elect — can at all

meet the urgent demands and absolute necessities of our rapidly increasing country. When we consider the pressing appeals for enlarged operations in so many fields now wide open and ripe for the harvest, we cannot but appeal to Christian friends in their behalf. It is scarcely necessary for us to state that, without a corresponding increase of funds, it will be impossible for the Board to meet these urgent appeals. It must be appa- rent that, with a comparatively small working balance at the disposal of the Board at the beginning of the year, and im- mensely increased liabilities, which are rapidly falling due, it will not be long until this balance is entirely exhausted. Un- less the friends of the Board will come forward in time, we may be reduced to great straits, and the progress of this work be greatly impeded.
We cannot too strongly impress upon the ministers and churches, that the Board needs their assistance as well during the spring and summer as the autumn and winter. The liabili- ties of the Board are constantly maturing, and consequently their payments are as large during one season as the other. Comparatively few churches make their contributions during the summer, and these few do not contribute largely. It is on this account that we need a considerable balance at the close of our fiscal year. Without it, the balance in the Treasury would soon be exhausted, and the Board, for months together, would be unable to meet their engagements.
May we not hope, therefore, in view of the enlarged opera- tions of the Board, and the comparatively small amount at our disposal, that the friends of this cause and of perishing souls, will take measures to replenish our treasury, and that, too, at a time when it is most needed ; and that churches which have no fixed time for contributing, and particularly when the time and season will not materially aflect the amount, will confer the favour of as early an offering to this cause as may be at all convenient. Our hope and trust is in Him to whom belongeth the silver and the gold, and in whose hands are the hearts of all men.
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
THE SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE PLAN.
We deem it eminently proper that, from year to year, we should report to the General Assembly the results to this Board, of the plan of Systematic Beneficence. This plan — embodying as it does the principles so clearly laid down in the Scriptures, and being regarded as eminently wise — has been approved and adopted by a very large portion of our Church. Every year quite a number of our Presbyteries report their approval of the system, and promise a cordial cooperation in securing the ends contemplated. There has, perhaps, been hardly time enough since its adoption by the Assembly, to develope fully its efficiency and practical working. The result of even three or four consecutive years is not sufficient ground upon which to form an opinion. Many of the Presbyteries have but recently adopted this plan, and time enough has not elapsed since to enable them to exercise their influence and authority over the churches within their bounds. In judging of the aggregate results, we are to take into consideration dis- turbing causes — such as commercial prostration, the failure of the crops, or from whatever causes suffering or want may be brought upon any community or large extent of country.
The past year has been one of unusual trial to a very large portion of the western country, as well as to some of the more northern and middle States. The Western Executive Com- mittee, having more directly under their care a part of this field, thus speak of its sufferings and wants :
"The pecuniary pressure to which we alluded in our reports for 1858 and 1859, and which we then hoped had well-nigh passed away, has rather increased than diminished during the past year, especially in the north-western States. Whole churches and communities have been literally crushed by it. The pecuniary crash which commenced in 1857, was followed by two successive failures in the principal crops. The people were almost universally in debt when it commenced. They

expected to pay their debts from tlie proceeds of their crops and the sales of property; but both of these sources failing them, there has followed a general bankruptcy, which almost revolutionized society in three or four of the north-western States. Many men, thought three or four years ago to be rich, have been unable to support their families comfortably, much less to contribute to the funds of the Board. Many churches have been reduced in numbers and pecuniary ability, from one- half to two-thirds of their former strength. The missionaries in these States, as is usual in all such cases, have felt this pressure more heavily than almost any other part of the popu- lation. Not a few of them have taken their families back to the old States, until the storm shall have blown over; whilst others are struggling with poverty and debt, with a moral and Christian heroism that has scarcely been surpassed in the his- tory of the Church. These self-denying and devoted men, in the great day when the Master shall reward his servants for the least act of self-denial for his sake, will doubtless receive a crown that will grow brighter through eternity. The Com- mittee have felt and acted on the idea that the missionaries had a claim upon the Board for peculiar assistance in this their hour of trial, and consequently, instead of aiming to diminish the amounts granted to them, they have in many cases increased them. We have never doubted that the Assembly and the churches at large would sustain us in this policy, so soon as they shall be put in possession of all the facts in the case."
These facts must have their weight, when we look at the summary of results, and by this standard judge of the practica- bility and efficiency of this scheme.
Notwithstanding all this, and the consequent largely dimi- nished contributions from the field above alluded to, we are gratified to be able to report an encouraging increase of con- tributing churches. This increase over the preceding year has been ninety-seven — making in all seventeen hundred and jive churches from which contributions to the funds of this Board have this year been received. And yet, in view of the very gene- ral approval and adoption of the Plan of Systematic Beneficence, and the urgent appeals for general and efficient cooperation,
BOAKD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 85
how small is still the number of contributing churches ! Only seventeen hundred and five, out of the three thousand four hun- dred and eighty seven churches reported in the Minutes of the General Assembly for 1859, have aided the Board to prosecute the work of evangelization in our country — leaving seventeen hundred and eighty-three churches from which not one dollar has been received by this Board! A few of these churches, comparatively, have contributed to carry on the work of mis- sions in certain districts which are not included in this report; still the number of non-contributing churches is very large, varying but little from the one-half of the whole number now in our connection. That very many of these churches, if not all, could have contributed something, there can be no reasonable doubt; and there can be no question in any reasonable mind, that they ought to have done so.
By reference to the appended statement of receipts for the year just closed, it will be seen that a large proportion of these delinquent churches are to be found in the older and more wealthy Presbyteries and Synods, where we were reasonably led to look for the efficient working of the Plan of Systematic Benejficence. This, too, is the more discouraging, as these very Presbyteries have been maturing their plans for some years past, and now, in a year of comparative plenty and pros- perity to them, so many of their churches have made no con- tributions to this cause. We are not to suppose that the fault, if fault there be, is to be found in the scheme itself. Can we not rather trace it to a neglect of watchful care on the part of the Presbyteries themselves ?
Our Church presents an organization as complete in all its parts as any that can be devised. Nothing consistent with religious liberty can be added to it in order to make it more efficient. All that is necessary is to honour it, as it now is, by superintending the whole scheme of benevolence, and direct- ing its plans. The mere adopting of any scheme, however wise, by a Presbytery, is but a small part of its duty ; and unless its collected wisdom can be brought to bear upon the ministers and elders, as well as deacons and churches, to stimulate them to vigorous and active exertions, but little will be accomplished.
36 ANNUAL KEPORT.
After all, what is needed more than anything else is, that all our ministers should realize their solemn obligations to attend to this, as well as every other duty of their office. And having resolved to do it, then to give to all connected with their churches — old and young, rich and poor — an opportunity to share in the blessedness of giving.
The following table will exhibit what progress has been made in this matter since the inauguration of the Systematic Benefi- cence Plan in 1854 to the present time :

It will be seen from this table that during the last six years the number of contributing churches have increased /ow?- hun- dred and ninety -eight.
Agreeably to the recommendation of the General Assembly, this Board has endeavoured faithfully to give efficiency to this plan for benevolent operations. As no collecting agents are employed, we feel it the more important to cooperate with the Presbyteries, and to endeavour to impress upon all the min- isters and officers of our churches, that the responsibility of making collections for the Board devolves upon them. If we succeed in this, our most sanguine expectations will then be realized. We would therefore say to every pastor, or stated supply, in the language of Shecaniah to Ezra, " Arise, for this matter belongcth unto you; the people also will be with you; be of good courage, and do it."
BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 37
CONCLUSION.
In reviewing the operations and results of the past year, we see much that is adapted to fill us with unfeigned gratitude to God. Unmerited favours and rich blessings have been gra- ciously vouchsafed. Some of the results have been gathered up, and are now presented to the General Assembly and the Church. Enough is known of God's abundant harvest, through the agency of this Board, to animate every heart, and give faith and promise to the future. No record, however, can ever reveal to the Church upon earth the full amount of good accomplished. Many a precious soul, unknown to us, will be found among the ransomed of the Lord — brought home to glory through the instrumentality of this Board. Influences, silent indeed, but active and precious, have been exerted, and are now, as they roll on, assuming shape and form in the moulding of many a community. Dangerous errors have been corrected, and vice in various forms has been restrained. All this, and more, of good accomplished, will be known only when revealed in the great day from the Lamb's Book of Life, in which are written the names of all God's chosen ones.
To very many of the faithful missionaries of the Board, this has been a year of unusual trial. They have literally gone forth "sowing in tears." For reasons already stated, many promises and hopes in temporal things utterly failed; poverty stared them in the face; yet they stood firm, buff"eting the storm with a moral heroism but seldom witnessed. The sympathies and efforts of many of God's people have been enlisted in their behalf, and the Board, to the utmost extent of their ability, have lent a helping hand. A debt of grati- tude is due these faithful soldiers of the cross ; and we assure them all that they have our warmest sympathies and earnest prayers in all their sore trials and abundant labours. But although temporal harvests have failed to many, and bright hopes have been blasted, it has nevertheless, in spiritual things, 5

been a season of joyous ingathering. The good seed sown has taken root in many a heart, and sprung up and ripened for the harvest. Many, very many churches, as they brought together into the Lord's house the fruits of his abounding grace, have chanted with joyous strains the harvest-home. Herein we rejoice together and give thanks. This is the seal of God to this important work. And what a seal ! For the two thousand six hundred and sixty-five known to have been gathered into these mission churches upon a profession of their faith in Christ, during the year just closed, it becomes us to bow in humble adoration and praise before Almighty God. In this we glory, and only because it is the cross of Christ, and the indwelling of his Spirit.
Although something has been accomplished, the blessed re- sults of which will be known only in eternity, still wo are deeply impressed with the belief that the Board have just entered upon the work God has given them to do. AVhilst very many churches have been supplied with a living ministry, there are hundreds still vacant, and appealing to this Board for assistance. From the constant augmentation of our popu- lation, and their emigration from one portion of the country to another, there will always continue to be quite a number of vacant churches. New fields for enterprise and wealth are constantly opening, and new settlements rapidly forming. In many of these, congregations have already been gathered, and are now waiting for the living minister. In addition to all these, there are inviting fields, and alarming destitutions, white and ready for the harvest, which present to the consider- ation of the Board their urgent claims. Immense territories are lying waste, with few or none to tell the inhabitants thereof the sure way of life. Large communities are rapidly forming, and becoming permanent settlements. These call for immediate and vigorous efforts on the part of this Board. Cannot much more be done for these dwellers in the wilder- ness? From the stand-point we occupy as a Board, we look upon this vast field with unutterable emotions. We hear the melancholy moanings of the desolate daughters of Zion. We

behold millions destitute of religious instruction, and pressing on to the bar of God and the retributions of eternity ; and as this picture of moral desolation is constantly before us, and earnestly pressed upon our consideration, we lift up our hearts in prayer to the Lord of the harvest for men and means. And now, in behalf of these perishing millions, we solemnly appeal to this venerable Assembly, and through them to our whole Church, for warmer sympathy and more earnest efibrts.
Was there ever presented to any Christian nation a brighter field, or more important work? With a sea-coast of at least 5000 miles — with a territory comprising now the one-fourteenth part of the really habitable globe — with a population of at least 30,000,000, and a tide of emigration rolling like a mighty wave from the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific — with every pros- pect that in another century from this time, the population of our country will be at least 250,000,000 — with alarming errors coming in like a flood, scattering the seeds of superstition and infidelity far and wide — with 50,000 heathen Chinese on the Pacific coast, ready to be Christianized, and trained up as a native ministry to that vast heathen empire — with the one-ffth of our present population destitute of the preached word — with our vast Territories all open, and waiting for the gospel — and with the fact that God has emphatically committed this great work of American evangelization to American Christians alone, and that through us as a people, in an especial manner, shall go forth the blessed influences of the gospel to the na- tions which are now sitting in darkness and the shadow of death — what a work, has God given us to do, and how dis- tinctly marked are his opening providences! This goodly heritage of ours now stretches from sea to sea. Right along the western coast, an immense territory of untold wealth has been added to our possessions. We now look out upon the islands of the Pacific, and the vast heathen world that lies beyond.
There, already, are a million of souls, with a future promis- ing and glorious beyond comparison. Commerce there spreads her sails, and bears away to these benighted nations the pro-

ducts of the land. That Golden Gate, if we are but faithful to the trust God has committed to us, will soon be the open gate through which will be borne the glorious gospel of our blessed Lord unto the farthest orient.
The field and the work are now before us. The happy results of the past year afiford encouragement to the future. May we not, therefore, confidently hope, with united, earnest, energetic efforts, in humble reliance upon the God of our sal- vation, that this moral wilderness shall be made glad, and the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose.
The usual Statistical Table of Missionaries and labours per- formed, is now laid, with this Report, before the Assembly, for inspection, together with all the papers relating to the state of the Treasury.

APPENDIX
FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE WESTERN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS, MARCH 1, 1860.
This Comnaittee has been in existence for fifteen years. Some of its mem- bers have been connected with it, and familiar with its opei'ations during the whole of that time, whilst others of its earlier members have passed away to other parts of the Church, and some to the Church triumphant. Within that period great changes have taken place, both in the Church and the country. Large districts, which were then an uninhabited wilder- ness, are now filled with an enterprising, thriving population. Territories, out of which great States have been formed, were then the property of other nations, and considered as belonging to the foreign missionary field. The courses of trade and of travel in our own country have been greatly changed. Large and thriving commercial towns and cities have sprung up at points which were then uninhabited by the white man. New Pres- byteries and Synods have arisen upon territory on which there was not a single church or a minister when this Committee commenced action.^ It has been with feelings of peculiar joy and gratitude that the Committee have watched the steady and rapid growth of our beloved Church during the time under the helping hand and fostering care of the Board of Do- mestic Missions. This growth, unlike that of some other Churches, has not been confined to any one Territory or State, or general district of the country, but it has been in every direction — northward and southward, eastward and westward. The Committee, in conducting their work, have felt that the whole territory under their care demanded their attention, and had iuiperative claims upon their efforts to supply it. They have acted upon the conviction that the Church is equally debtor to the North, and to the South, and to the East, and the West, to the bond and the free, as far as in her lies, to have the gospel fully preached to them. Whilst the growth of the Church has not been equally rapid in every part of the field, we are gratified to know that all parts of it have had more or less growth, and the greater comparative growth in one part of it than another has arisen from circumstances of which the Committee could exercise no con- trol, and not from any partial admininistration of their aid in the distribu- tion of missionaries and money by the Committee.
Within the last year a portion of the field formerly under the care of this Committee, has been transferred to the new Committee, organized by the last Assembly, in New Orleans. That transfer did not formally take place until the year had nearly half expired. Two of the Synods set off by the Assembly to that Committee declined to be transferred to it, whilst one or more of the Presbyteries belonging to one of those Synods, at their fall sessions, elected to act through it. This Committee feeling in doubt dur- ing the first part of the year as to their jurisdiction over that portion of their former field, did not act with as much promptness as they otherwise
(107)
108 APPENDIX.
would have' done in sending new men into it, and recomniissioning old ones. This is to be regretted; but the Committee do not feel that they are to be blamed for it. It was the result of circumstances over which they had no control. This change in our field makes it difficult to com))are the result of the past year's action with those of the years that preceded it. We have neither liad the same field to plant missionaries in, nor the churches to collect funds from that we had in former years ; nor has our field been the same during the whole year. Some churches and Presby- teries which acted through our Committee at the beginning of the year, have acted through the Committee at New Orleans during the last six or eight months.
MISSIONARIES IN COMMISSION ON THE FIRST DAY OF MARCH, 1859. There were one hundred and seventy-two missionaries in commission under this Committee, which was six more than was in commission on the first day of March one year previous. Of these, one hundred and thirty- three had been recommissioned during the year, and one hundred and thirty-one others not in commission on the first of March have been put in commission, making the whole number of commissions granted during the year, two hundred and sixty-four, and the whole number of men in com- mission during the year, three hundred and three. This is a gain of forty- nine over the preceding year in the number of commissions granted, and of forty-three in the num))er of men in commission. The large gain, it will be seen, has been mostly in new missionaries, which would be a most gratifying fact had they all been accessions to fields on which they are labouring. A portion of them were, however, men who were forced to come upon the funds of the Board for a part of their support, who had been Avholly supported from other sources previously. Such has been the pecuniary pressure upon a large part of our field, that we have been com- pelled to aid quite a considerable number of churches wliich had been self-sustaining for years previous, or see them deprived of the gospel. Their pecuniary condition was so changed that they must be aided or their pulpits become vacant.
STATE OF THE FUNDS.
On the first of March, 1859, there was a balance on hand of $1656.77. Since that time the Treasurer has received, in cash, $12,675.67, and has paid out $13,534.12, leaving a balance on hand of $798.32. There have been received into the Clothing depot boxes of goods valued at S2331.-I8, making the whole amount received during the year $14,907.15. Every missionary who has reported his labour to us, has been paid fi)r it up to the time to which he has reported. There are, however, about four hundred and fifteen months of missionary labour which have expired, for which the missionaries have not reported, their quarters having not yet ended. For tliis we owe $6332.85. This will speedily exhaust the balance on hand, and require increased contributions from the churches during the spring and coming summer.
This, it will be perceived, is a considerable falling oif from the amount reported as received into our Treasury during previous years. It is to be accounted for in several ways. First, we have had a considerable number of the churches formerly contributing to our Treasury set ofl' to the Com- mittee at New Orleans, and that too in the region of country least aftVcted by the pecuniary pressure. Secondly, an unusually large number of the churches which ought to have sent their contriluitions to our Treasury, have sent them to Philadelphia. In running over the receipts acknow-
APPENDIX. 109
ledged in the Home and Foreign Record, and from other sources, -vre find that over eight thousand dollars, including legacies, have been sent to the Treasury at Philadelphia from the field under the care of this Committee. If that sum, and the amount paid to the Treasurer in New Orleans from churches which formerly reported to us, were added to our receipts, it would appear that the contributions to Domestic Missions on the general field, from which we reported last year, have not fallen ofi", but have been considerably increased. Thirdly, the pecuniary pressure to which we alluded in our reports for 1858-59, and which we then hoped had well nigh passed away, has rather increased than diminished during the past year, especially in the North-Western States. Whole churches and com- munities have been literally crushed by it. The pecuniary crash which commenced in 1857 was followed by two successive failures in the prin- cipal crops. The people were almost universally in debt when it com- menced. They expected to pay their debts from the proceeds of the crops and the sales of property; but both of these sources failing them, there has followed ii general hanknipicij, which almost revolutionized society in three or four of the North-Western States. Many men, thought three years ago to be rich, have been unable to support their families comfortably, much less to contribute to the funds of the Board. Many churches have been reduced in numbers and pecuniary ability, from one-half to two-thirds of their former strength. The missionaiies in those States, as is usual in all such cases, have felt this pressure more heavily than any other part of the population. Not a few of them have taken their families back to the old States till the storm shall have blown over, whilst others are struggling on with poverty and debt, with a moral and Christian heroism that has scarcely been surpassed in the history of the Church. These self-denying and devoted men, in the great day when the Master shall reward his ser- vants for the least act of self denial for his sake, will doubtless receive a crown that shall grow brighter through eternity. The Committee have felt and acted upon the idea that they had a claim upon the Board for pecuniary assistance in this their hour of trial, and consequently, instead of aiming to diminish the amounts granted to them, they have, in many cases, increased them. We have never doubted that the Assembly and the churches at large would sustain us in this policy, so soon as they shall be put in possession of all the facts in the case.
RESULTS OF MISSIONARY LABOUR. We are happy to add, that whilst the churches and people in a large part of our field have been so terribly scourged in a pecuniary point of view, there has been in many places a corresponding increase in their dis- position to turn their attention to spiritual things. As the prospect of becoming increased in worldly goods has faded from their vision, they have been more and more disposed to look for a heavenly inheritance, that fadeth not away, and to lay up treasure where banks do not break, and mortgages are not foreclosed. Never, since the organization of the Com- mittee, have the missionaries sont in more hopeful reports of their success in winning souls to Christ. Whilst almost all of them speak despondingly of their temporal support, they as generally tell u^ of b>'ightening pros- pects as regards the spiritual condition of their flocks. This is the bright and cheering sign of the times to urge us on in our arduous work. Whilst God is afflicting his servants in one way, he is mightily helping and sustaining them in another. The Committee feel encouraged, there- fore, to go forward trusting in Ilim. Though the work may be difiicult, and the way at times may seem dark, yet they feel assured that He who loves his Church, and our great country, will stand by them, and

strengthen them in the efforts to extend the one, and purify and save the other. For the gospel of Jesus Christ, preac^hed in its purity and power, and made effectual by the Divine Spirit, is the only means of saving the souls of our countrymen in the world to come, and jiurifying their morals and elevating them to that point of intelligence and relinement in this, which will make and keep ours a nation of freemen indeed — such as Christ makes free.
By order of the Committee,
W. W. HILL, Cor. Secretary.
FIRST REPORT OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
This Committee, instituted by the General Assembly, at Indianapolis, in May last, was not completely organized and prepared for effective service until about the middle of November; and then, encumbered with extensive correspondence, and the unfamiliar details of a new organiza- tion, their progress was much delayed, so that little more than three months have been occupied in the direct prosecution of their work.
At the very threshold of their operations they encountered unexpected difficulties. The Synods of Memphis, Arkansas, and Texas, and the Pres- byteries of East Alabama, Tuskaloosa, Central Mississippi, and Louisiana, declined, for the present, to co-operate, assigning as reasons for non- concurrence, a want of information in relation to the powers and responsi- bilities of this Committee, and the reserved rights and control of the parent Board.
Objections were made to the Committee, as now constituted: First. Be- cause it is not independent of the Assemtily's Board; and others preferred an Executive to an Advisory Committee. This is evidently an invalid objection ; for the Committee has delegated powers to manage the mis- sionary interests on this entire field, by a special contract with the Board. The Board has remitted to this Committee all direct supervision, and vested in them the right to appoint all missionaries, receive all contribu- tions from the churches, appropriate all funds collected on the field, explore and supply destitutions — in fact, clothing this Committee with executive power for all practical missionary operations — the Board being pledged to ratify their decisions. We have thus the advantage of an immediate and definite decision upon every application presented.
A second objection was — That our field is pecuniarily cut off (as they undei'stood the position of the Board) from all claim for aid from the common treasury of the Church. But the General Assembly gave the Board no authority to refuse aid to this field, from the common beneficence of the whole Church, if help were needed and required. Such action would be adverse to the expressed sentiments of the Assembly, during the discussion of this question, preceding tiie inauguration of this Committee. We have the undoubted right to claim supplementary aid, as much as any other section of tho Church or country. The Assemldy could not have intended to disfranchise the //re Scii/h )Fesiern Si/nod.'^, which are largely frontier and missionary ground. Such injustice would be apparent from the single fact, that the Synods of Arkansas and Texas were pensioners upon the Board, last year, for ^^4827, and contributed from all their churches only $5S9, to reimburse these expenditures from the treasury. Surely it was not intended to impose this burden upon a new and unaided
APPENDIX. Ill
agency. If such a summary process were permissible, the Board might cut at once the gordian knot of all its financial difficulties, by establishing local Committees for the North-West, the Central West, and the Pacific coast, as well as at the South- West, and apply the same test, restricting them to their own resources, and abandoning them to their own weak- ness and destitutions! Thus the work of Church extension would cease, and the Board itself become a useless appendage to the aggressive ma- chinery of the Church.
Another specious objection has been made in the argument for inde- pendent Presbyterial action, that "all the funds raised were needed for immediate home distribution." This might be said of every Presbytery in the land. But if all were to adopt this policy, the Assembly's Board would be practically dissolved, the aggressive movement of the Church paralyzed on all our frontier and sparsely settled fields, and our branch of the Church left far behind in the onward progress of Christianity. Only rich Presbyteries can afford to assume this position — poor ones would soon die out. The argument of the Board, in the Annual lleport for 1859, is conclusive as to the ultimate inutility and inexpediency of independent Presbyterial operations. It is unwise to restrict the sympathy and bene- ficence of the Church. God's people enlarge their liberality to the magni- tude and necessities of the cause of the Redeemer. But many of these objections are happily removed; and most of the Presbyteries will cheer- fully co-operate in the vast work remitted to this Committee.
By special agreement, we are pledged to the Board not to recommend any appropriation beyond our ability promptly to pay ; while the Board, on its part, is pledged to grant every commission, with the specified salary, required by this Committee. Thus the rights and interests of both parties are carefully guarded. The Board, however, has expressed a willingness to aid us, should our resources prove inadequate to supply our destitu- tions— a contingency we do not anticipate.
Our work thus far has been happily successful, notwithstanding the difficulties at first encountered. A brief summary is submitted.
APPLICATIONS FOR MINISTERS. Already more than thirty applications have been received for ministers to supply vacant churches and destitute fields. Many of our planters earnestly desire to obtain chaplains for their families, where large congre- gations of coloured people would gladly hear the preached word. A liberal support would be contributed, if faithful men can be obtained.
PROSPECTIVE SUPPLY OF MINISTERS.
We have information from some of our Seminaries, that the young men are predisposed to enter our mission fields. If we can immediately secure a sufficient sum to guarantee them a support, a goodly number can, doubt- less, be induced to labour under the direction of this Committee. An eflbrt will be made to secure their services as soon as the classes graduate, for which purpose arrangements will be made to visit the Seminaries imme- diately.
MISSIONARIES COMMISSIONED.
The Committee have made appropriations in every case of application, and nine commissions have been issued, viz. — four in Texas, three in Mis- sissippi, and two in Louisiana — four of which are t) new men. Some of the commissions issued by the parent Board and the Western Executive Committee have not expired, but we have funds in our treasury for their recommission, should application be made.
112 APPENDIX.
APPROPRIATIONS SECURED.
The Committee have adopted a positive rule, that iiuffieient funds shall be kept in the treasury to meet all liabilities assumed, so that in no case can there lie any delay of payment, or any doubtful risk adventured; and no appeal made to the parent Board for help to meet our own obligations.
AVAILABLE RESOURCES.
The Treasurer's statement shows, cash received $13,078 41. "We have also reliable subscripticms, payable to order, amounting to $2000, This sum would have been largely increased, but many of our churches do not take up their collections so early in the season, and some of the most liberal congregations are within the bounds of those Presbyteries which have hesi- tated to co-operate with this Committee. The churches which have contri- buted, (being only about one in ten of the whole number,) have responded with such munificent liberality, that we confidently rely upon our own benefiictions to sustain the work on this entire South-Western field. The amount already received is more than double the annual contributions of the whole field heretofore. We shall be able greatly to enlarge our mis- sionary operations during the coming year.
DISBURSEMENTS. The Treasurer has disbursed $3,542.25, leaving a cash balance in the Treasury of $9,536 16, besides $2,000 in subscriptions. This sum will be expended in payment of accruing liabilities, and in appropriations to renew commissions which will soon expire, and which are now paid by the parent Board. We may also need, immediately, largely increased contribu- tions in order to secure young men from our Seminaries to supply our pressing destitutions.
CONCERT OF PRAYER.
Several churches, upon the recommendation of the Committee, have consented to establish a Monthly Concert of Prayer for Domestic Missions, observing our Lord's injunction, "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- vest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." This will prove a permanent source of revenue, if all will adopt this plan, and take up voluntary contributions to this cause. We value, indeed, the alms of God's people as the sinews of holy war, but their prayers infinitely more, as the vitality of conquest.
DONATIONS OF CLOTHING.
The ladies of Rev. Dr. Grundy's church, Memphis, Tennessee, have generously proffered a box of clothing suitable for the family of a mission- ary, valued atone hundred and sixty dollars; and it has been sent to a faithful minister on the western frontier of Louisiana. We are informed that ladies in other places propose to imitate this good example.
A BRIEF REVIEW. While the Committee have abundant cause of gratitude for the evident blessing of the Master upon our inexperienced eff'orts, we would neverthe- less remind our brethren abroad, that the brief space thus far allotted to this new experiment has been insufficient to test accurately cither the policy or resources of this organization for the accomplishment of the vast missionary enterprise remitted by the General Assembly to our hands. The work is but just begun. Under the blessing of God it must achieve important results in the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom. With this, all we ask is a fair trial, with the generous and cordial co-operation
APPENDIX. 113
of all the churches within our bounds. May we not appeal to the luke- warm and indifferent, "Destroy it not," by your neglect, "for a blessing is in it."
OUR WIDE-SPREAD DESTITUTIONS.
This vast South-western field importunes, with Macedonian earnestness, every Seminary in our land. Look at its spiritual desolations, stretching on a base line of longitude fourteen hundred miles from the Georgia boundary to El Passo. The single State of Texas, eight hundred miles in diameter, with an immense fluctuating and heterogeneous population, with some sixty counties, without a single settled minister of the gospel, has but 13 missionaries of our Board. Louisiana has 47 parishes, and only 2-4 active ministers of our Church ; and there is almost an equal des- titution in Mississippi and Alabama. Then look at our missionary supplies, contrasted with other sections of the church and country. Pennsylvania, the home of the Board, last year had 69 missionaries, and Texas 13; Ohio 54, and Alabama 10; Illinois 72, and Louisiana 6; Iowa 62, and Missis- sippi 10; while Wisconsin had 30, and Indiana 34. The four North- western States had 198, and the four South-western 39. The four former States, with only half the extent of territory, received $33,192 from the Board, but the four latter only $8,255; while our section contributed $5,390 to the common treasury, and that only $2,812. Surely these start- ling facts should awaken an intense activity in behalf of our own destitu- tions. And then beyond us stretch the almost illimitable mission fields of Mexico and Central America, now in a state of civil anarchy and spiritual darkness, appealing with ten thousand pathetic utterances to Protestant Christendom for the light and liberty of the sons of God. Surely if an apology were needed for the organization of this Committee, it is patent to the Christian world, in this evident condition of our own and the border field beyond. And if incentives to the vigorous prosecution of this import- ant and difficult work are necessary, we find irrepressible motives and constraints in the work itself.

BEQUESTS.
The General Assembly which met in 1840, authorized their Board of Domestic Missions to apply to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for an Act of Incorporation: this application was made, and a Charter obtained, and the Board have now an incorporated Board of Trustees, entitled, "TJie Trustees of the Board of Domestic Missions of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America." To this body, all legacies or bequests for the Board of Domestic Missions should now be given.
The State laws differ so much, that no one form will answer in all the States, but in every case it is essential to give the bight corporate name.

114 APPENDIX.
NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR MISSIONARY AID.
Applicants for missionaries and missionary aid are respectfully and earnestly requested to pay particular attention to the following rules and regulations of the Board:
EuiiE 1. Regular form in which applications are to come up to the Board, as often as made.
Applications to the Board for Missionary appointments and pecuniary aid, and also for the re-appointment of Missionaries, should always be made by the Elders oi the church, through the Presbytery, or the Corresponding Executive Committee of the Presbytery to which the church applying for assistance belongs — accompanied with a recommendation from said Presbytery or Committee, of the Missionary to be appointed, and a specification of the amount of aid indispensably necessary.
If there be no Corresponding Executive Committee in the Presbytery, the application must be fully sanctioned by two neighbouring ministers, connected with the Presbytery to which the church belongs.
Rule 2. Of the Board in relation to renewing, dating, and ante-dating Commis- sions. Passed March 10th, 1851.
In consequence of the constantly repeated applications of Presbyteries to ante- date Commissions, some for three, others for six, and some even for twelve months, and without any apparent reason, other than want of attention and prompt action on the part of Presbyteries and Committees of Presbyteries on Missions, thereby embarrassing the business of the Board, and depriving the Board of an accurate knowledge of the expenses of our Missions, for which pro- vision must be made weekly, therefore,
1. Resolved, That the Presbyteries and Committees of Presbyteries on Missions be respectfully requested to have Commissions of their missionaries renewed before the ex])iration of their term of service, if practicable to do so; and m all cases to state definitely the time when they ivish the Commission to be dated.
2. Resolved, That from and after the 1st day of May, 1851, the Board will anie- date no Commission beyond two months fi-om the time of the reception of the appli- cation at the Mission Rooms, either in Philadelphia or in Louisville.
3. Rules of the Board in relation to the careful examination of applicants : — to information requested of Presbyteries by the Board, to assist it in its action : — and to churches able to support the gospel for themselves.
"On motion,
1. Resolved, Tliat the Committees of the Board in Philadelphia and Louisville, be directed to examine carefully into the propriety and justice of every applica- tion for new Commissions, or for renewal of old ones; and whenever the sums ajjplied for may be reduced, that the reduction may be made.
2. Resolved, That the Presbyteries be requested to state the amount raised by the churches or congregations forming missionary fields, in support of their pastors or missionaries, when they apply for Commissions from the Board for tlunn, in order to enable the Board to act more intelligently on the applications.
.S. Resolved, That before a Presbytery entertain the application of any organ- ized church or missionary field, it bo requested to inquire whether said church or field has any reasonable prospect of becoming self-sustaining; and whether said church or field may not properly and profitably be united with some con- tiguous church or churches, and the labour of a missionary, and the expense of his sup[)ort be saved to the Board, agreeably to the recommendation of the General Assembly.
4. Resoh'cd, That all churches which have been long upon the Board, and are able to sujiport the gospel of themselves, have their appropriations reduced; and that tliey be discontinued by tlie Board as soon as possible, in order that the Missionary funds of the Church may be husbanded, and more liberally and extensively applied to fields that are purely missionary, and iu which the Church may expand and grow."
APPENDIX. 115
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PRESBYTERIES AND CHURCHES APPLYING FOR AID.
It has always been regarded as the duty of churches applying for aid, to inform the Board, through the Presbyteries by which their applications are recommended, of the amount of salary they promise to pay to their pastors, or stated supplies, in order that the Presbyteries and the Board may be able the better to judge whether the amount of aid asked for is reasonable and necessary. From some cause or other, this salutary custom has gradually fallen into disuse, at least so far as the Board is informed, and the information so obviously neces- sary is very generally withheld. In order to obtain this needed information in future, the Board adopted unanimously the following resolution, viz.
"Resolved, That the Executive Committees of the Board be, and they hereby are instructed to defer acting upon applications for missionary aid until they ascertain, if practicable, what amount of salary the churches applying for assistance from the Board have promised, or are willing to promise to their ministers."
In view of this resolution of the Board, we respectfully request all the churches desiring aid, to inform their respective Presbyteries of the amount of salary they have promised, or are willing to promise, their ministers; and we also respectfully request all the Presbyteries and Presbyterial Committees on Missions, to furnish this information to' the Executive Committees of the Board when applications for aid are recommended. This will prevent delay and trouble, as the Executive Committees, under the instruction of the Board, will of course defer acting upon all applications until they obtain, if practicable, the information required.
This rule is so obviously proper, and indeed indispensable to the judicious disbursement of the Missionary Fund of the Church, that we confidently trust it will be cheerfully complied with by all the jiarties interested.
CLOTHING.
Boxes of Clothing for Missionaries. — For the information of those who may wish to furnish clothing, or other articles, for the comfort of our missionaries and their families, we publish the following :
Boxes of clothing, when sent directly to the office of the Board, without any particular designation, will be forwarded to such missionaries as are known to be the most needy; and the missionaries, to whom a box from any congregation or association is sent, will be requested to write to the donors, acknowledging the receipt.
In many instances, we are asked at the office to designate some missionary, and give particular information in regard to his circumstances, his family, etc. This information is not alioays in our power to give; and not unfrequently difficulties arise from selecting particular missionaries in that way. As a general rule, then, we would say, as the result of our own experience in this matter, that if the donors have no sjjecial reasons for designating a particular missionary, the dis- tributions of these boxes had better be left to the officers of the Board at the office. Our decided impression is, that a more equitable and judicious distribu- tion will in this way be made, and the object of the benevolent donors be more completely gained.
We ask particular attention to the following directions for forwarding boxes.
1. In every box that is sent, put a list of all the articles, with an estimated value of each article; put on the same paper the name of the individual, congre- gation or association from whom the box comes j also the address of the person
116 APPENDIX.
to whom a letter of acknowledgment is to be sent. Let this paper be put in the box, where it will readily be seen on the box being opened. A copy of this list, with a letter, 6lioul<l also be sent to the office of the Board, in which letter information should be given of the time when the box was sent, and by what conveyance, and any other things connected with the donation which it may be desirable should be known at the office.
2. The box should be fully and plainly marked, "Mission Rooms, 910 Arck Street, Philadelphia ;" and the place from which it comes should always appear on the outside. The articles should be carefully put up in strong and tight boxes, Well nailed, and secured against rough handling, on along voyage.
3. It is important that all boxes of clothing, designed more especially for the "West, should be at the office as early as the first of September, that they may reach their destination before the navigation closes.
Clothing Distributed Gratuitously. — Boxes of clothing form no part of a mis- sionary's regular appropriation — the Board, therefore, need the same amount of funds to meet their engagements, as if no boxes were forwarded. It is very important this should not be overlooked. These boxes are of great value to the missionaries, and they need all that is sent to them; but we should be careful not to suffer these acts of kindness to lessen our pecuniary donations to the cause. The cause cannot admit of this without loss, and serious loss. Thus far there has been no pecuniary loss, but rather a gain, by the interest which has been excited in the preparation of these boxes. We fondly hope it will continue to be so, and that the interest in this cause will continue to increase, until our whole land is supplied with gospel privileges.
Contents of Boxes. — As to what is to be put into these boxes, we are willing to leave that matter to the judgment of our good ladies, who so well know what is wanted in a family. Scarcely any article in common use will come amiss. Knives and forks, spoons, scissors, thread, yarn, silk, needles, pins, tape, but- tons, etc., etc., in addition to articles of substantial wearing apparel, will be thankfully received. Flannel, muslins, calicoes, etc., not made up, are very acceptable. Garden seeds, medicines, etc.
PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THE WORK OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS IS CONDUCTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Resolved, That the Assembly would re-affirm all the principles upon which it has heretofore carried on its Domestic Missions — principles which have been exhibited in a review of all the published minutes, acts, and doings of the Church in her highest judicatories, from the beginning; and which are drawu tip and set forth in order in the Report of the Board of Domestic Missions, May, 1852.
Resolrcd, That the great work undertaken for so long a time by the Assembly, is the expansion and full estaldislimcnt of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by his own Spirit and power, over all our vast country. And it is purely a missionary work; missionary in this respect, that ministers are sent out by tiie Assembly, and means furnished for their support, in whole or in part, while they are ])reacliing the gospel, and gathering and establisliing churches. So soon as individual churches, or groups of churclies.'are established, and are able to support all the institutions of the gospel for themselves, they are no longer missionary in character, but immediately cease their connection with the Board, and fall into line with the great body of self-sustaining and contributing churches, and go to add to the solid material and power oV the Presbyterian Church. Now, the principles upon which the General Assembly conducts its Domestic Missionary work, are these: 1st. It is in the sense deliuod", a missionaiy work. 2d. The funds contributed for it are missionary funds. 3d. The men cmployi'd in preaching the gospel are, in their fields, mi.'ssionary men. 4th. All tiie churdios and fields aided and supplied, are missionary churches and fields. 6th. The funds supplied are funds for temporary assistance, and not for entire
APPENDIX. 117
nor permanent support. The people aided are to help themselves, be it ever so little, from the beginning, and are to go on to independence. 6th. The grand end and aim of the Assembly is to establish self-sustaining churches and fields, as fast and as far as possible, and so to increase the solid material and power of the Church, and accumulate strength to go forward expanding. 7th. Ministers and means are to be distributed according to the relative importance and ;jro?«i.se of different fields, and in view of the necessities of the whole field, that there may be equality and no partiality. 8th. The Assembly conducts this work through a Committee, or Board, resjjonsible to itself alone, under its advice and control, and ■which Board is required to exercise its sound discretion and judgment in decid- ing upon, and in conducting the business entrusted to it. 9th. No debt to be incurred in carrying forward the 7nissionary work. The Assembly always acted upon this just and only safe principle, and a principle which has always been adhered to by our Church; and in the Assembly of 1803 the following resolution was passed: "That there ought to be no anticipation of the funds in future; or in other words, that appropriations ought not to be made in any year beyond the amount which the funds arising in that year will be sufficient to satisfy." P. 208. 10th. And finally, agents for visiting the churches, and collecting funds for the work, may be employed by the Board.
Resolved, That the Board be directed to go forward and conduct the work entrusted to its care on these principles, as heretofore, and that they be com- mended to the attention and observance of all Presbyteries and churches, in their applications for aid, and that the Board be also instructed to pay, as here- tofore, due regard to tlie recommendations of Presbyteries. That all pastors and stated supplies be requested to take pains to circulate the Report when pub- lished, and diffuse more information on the subject of Domestic Missions among their people. — Minutes of the General Assembly, held at Charleston, South Caro- lina, May 2Uh, 1852, p. 215.
ACTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON DISCRETIONARY POWERS OF THE BOARD.
On Applicants. — In answer to the questions propounded by the Presbyteries of Union and French Broad, the Assembly would say, that though they do not recognize in the Board of Domestic Missions the authority to sit in judgment ujjon the orthodoxy or morality of any minister who is in good standing in his own Presbytery; yet, from the necessity of the case, they must exercise their own sound discretion upon the expediency or inexpediency of appointing, or withholding any appointment, from any applicant, holding themselves amena- ble to the General Assembly for all their olficial acts. — Minutes, 1830, p. 16.
On the Distribution op Funds. — Overture No. 13, a memorial from the Pres- bytery of Logansport, desiring the Assembly to say, whether the Board of Do- mestic Missions has the power to reduce the amounts recommended to be given in aid to any churches, under the care of any Presbytery, without consulting such Presbytery; and if so, whether the Board has not an equal right to take away the whole amount so recommended in any case. It was
Resolved, That while the Assembly expects the Board of Domestic Missions to pay great respect to the advice of the Presbyteries, touching missionaries labour- ing within their bounds, yet in the distribution of its funds, the action of the Board must be controlled by the state of its treasury, and the relative import- ance of the various missionary fields under its care. — Minutes, 1852, p. 221.
Feeble CnuRCHEs to be Combined. — Resolved, That each Presbytery in our communion be recommended to discourage the sundering of feeble churches now united in support of the gospel, and generally to combine together such feeble churches in appropriate fields of labour, that the Board of Domestic Missions may be relieved from the need of a large allowance in such cases, and, where practicable, from the need of any allowance in aid of ministerial 6ui)port. — Minutes, 1846, p. 206.

CHARTER of the BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
To all to whom these presents shall come.
Know Ye, That wliereas the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America have a Board of Domestic Missions, composed of Ministers and Laymen, members of the Presbyterian Church, the design of which, is to afford aid to feeble Presbyterian churches in the support of pastors, to form new churches, and to supply destitute settlements with the stated ministry and gospel ordinances; and whereas, the aforesaid Board of Domestic Missions labours under serious disadvantages as to receiving donations and bequests, and as to the management of funds entrusted to them for the purpose designated iu their Constitution, and in accordance with the benevolent intentions of those from whom such bequests and donations are received;
